Observation during reading and running records(Informal prose inventory) shows some students are performing below expectation in decoding or deeper comprehension.
Decoding text and explaining the meaning of what they have read.
Seek different ways to teach students decoding and comprehension strategies.
Diagnostic testing using running records
- Own goals identified
- Integrate different comprehension practice into literacy and unit teaching.
- Progress documented on e-portfolio
- Diagnostic testing
- Evidence on e-portfolio of improved use of decoding and comprehension strategies.
Show accelerated progress graphically for targeted students.
Reflect on evidence of improved decoding and comrehension for individual students.
Travis - Toe to toe
Focus group
Continue linking reading closely to writing
Specific comprehension strategy teaching - making connections
Next step - turn skiing learning stories into our own audio resource

Use Carol's inquiry model. Is the teaching working for my students? What is the learning like for students in my class? How is my teaching best meeting the needs of my students?
What will they be better at:-
- Learning for teacher
- Report to MOE
